As a part of M$'s strategy to get core gamers on to Kinect/Batsuichi they money hat such games. They try to get a small core following on to their console and hope that it will trickle down from there on its own.
We saw the same with Steel Battalion, Panzer Dragoon and Fable on Kinect this gen.
No reason for it to not happen again .
EA had said that they are tightening their belts and will concentrate on mega money makers like Battlefield and Star Wars, something Mirror's Edge is not leading a money hat to be the most probable reason it would be done, especially on the tiny install base the console would initially have. I don't happen to think that a rival publisher would money hat them to make the game or either of Sony & Nintendo money hatting and letting it appear on the Xbone.
To add to that, all the listings that have appeared are Xbone only leading me to speculate that it is exclusive.

Square Enix's site says that we will see FFX/X-2 HD, LR:FFXIII, FF:ARR & Guardian Cross at E3. This basically kills any chance of FFVXIII & FFXV unless Square wants to flood us with titles and create even more franchise fatigue. But then again, we are dealing with Square so we never know....

Nintendo's E3 site is up. Downloading the calendar indicates that the Direct will last for one hour.
The silhouettes that appear in the bottom right corner are:
This is fun. I spend more time in the hype, anticipating games, watching trailers , reading reviews than actually playing the game.
Nothing for Rockstar Games (GTA V) ?
Take2 & its subsidiaries like Firaxis & Rockstar are not appearing at E3. We will not get GTA V(and more importantly Brave New World) info over there unless M$ony decide to highlight it as a part of their 3rd party offerings.
@Bold: 2K will not have E3 booths this year. Instead they will have closed room meetings business with investors, retailers etc. Even if information is given we (probably)won't get it unless someone decides to break their NDA and leak it. They said that we will be getting information through the usual channels this spring i.e. Youtube, Twitch.tv, press releases etc. CDPred has said that Cyberpunk will not be there at E3 either.

Bayonetta 2 featuring in next Nintendo Direct on June 11 | Polygon
Master troll Lord Kamiya claims another victim. He doesn't even try. He has been using this format for a long time yet people keep on falling for it. It is possible that B2 will be there at the E3 Nintendo Direct but you shouldn't take this as confirmation.
They had registered deusexthefall.com domain in March.
DeusExTheFall.com - Deus Ex The Fall
Possible that the game to be unveiled at E3?
Nintendo of Germany:
Heute enthüllten sie weitere Details zum zweiten von insgesamt drei Titeln, die die beiden Videospielunternehmen exklusiv für Wii U und Nintendo 3DS herausbringen werden. Alle drei Spiele erscheinen noch in diesem Jahr.
Contrary to what the Nintendo Germany press release all the Sonic games won't come out this year. Considering that Nintendo Germany falls under NOE and IGN usually sources from NOA it is possible that it will come out this year in Europe and next year in America.
Deus Ex: The Fall will probably be revealed tomorrow.
We will probably still get more detail from Square Enix at E3 though.
Just a week to go
This year I've chosen the Meaning of Truth as my Hype Track.
For the unaware, the song is from this rather awesome moment
We are dealing with Square Enix here. They teased us with a new FFT game and it turned out to be a mobile game with exactly 0 tactics that felt like a nostalgia cash in. They said that they will have a major appearance at the PS4 reveal and it ended up being the Silicon Studio developed Agni's Philosophy tech demo shown again and a statement "Please be excited for E3". I've learnt not to trust them.
According to this the Wii U basic bundle is being recalled. I'd guess that the White 32GB premium bundle won't be limited to Japan. The eShop was down for maintenance yesterday, so it is possible that a price drop/ambassador 2.0/new bundles may be announced.
Considering how much the Yen has fallen, Nintendo might just be able to do it without losing too much money.
According to rumours a Nintendo rep has said don't be surprised if a new Zelda game is announced.
Harmonix makes players musical magicians in Fantasia: Music Evolved | Polygon
Another one of the 15 xbox exclusives has been confirmed as a Kinect game.
Take this with a grain of salt, but from what I read a title tentatively titled "Kinect Fitness" is incoming.
Bill Trinen seems to be doing his bit to hype us up.
And as long as Nintendo doesn't do something like TVii, TVii, TVii, TVii, Sensor Bar, Gamedpad, TVii, "The New Barbecue", Pikmin Anime, Wii Sports U, Cawadoggy there is little way for them to screw up.
Except for overhyped Nintendo fans and people who won't be impressed with the console no matter what and dismiss all the games claiming that they belong to a demographic they don't belong to(even if it is not true) there is (almost) no way they will end up disappointing.
We have:
1. 3D Mario
2. Mario Kart U
3. Super Smash Brothers 4
4. A Mecha RPG that also happens to be Monolith Soft's next game, directed by Tetsuya Takahashi
5. Retro Studio's new game
6. Sonic
7. A third party collaboration.(Iwata had said that they have more third party collaborations not announced yet that would be revealed soon at the investors meet. So far we just got SEGA.)
A realm reborn is also there for PC. Considering that we are getting 3 main FF games this year I find it unlikely that SE will release another one anytime soon. However, Square isn't really known for managing the Final Fantasy brand well, so we never know.
Microsoft has apparently cancelled their Post E3 Media roundtable. Somebody doesn't want questions asked in the crazy free for all Post - E3 environment where it won't be as easy to dodge questions. I wonder what it means for the ×1.
Lets hope Square doesn't wait for the platform holder/ another publisher to localize the game and does it itself this time, but considering their semi - recent comments about regionality and demographic focus, I wouldn't put too many eggs in that basket.
ダークソウル coming in the M$ E3 conference? This could be their obligatory Japan represent this time around. However, this franchise did better in the west than in Japan and the lead platform for the next game is confirmed to be PC so maybe not.
Confirmed to be an iOS game. Not unexpected.
@Cyborg47: Your friend was right. Plz question him about the status of Dragon Quest in the west for me.
Nintendo hard at work(according to a known leaker ):
For the “Wii U” system, there were some delays in software development that resulted in intervals between new software title releases at the early stage of this calendar year. Taking this into consideration, we plan to concentrate on proactively releasing key Nintendo titles from the second half of this year through next year in order to regain momentum for the platform. Nintendo strives to improve the sales by communicating the compelling nature of our hardware and software to as many people as possible through our new network service called “Miiverse,” which offers an environment where people can empathize with others and share their gaming experiences. We also strive to reduce costs to improve hardware profitability.
In addition to the above, to adapt to the changes in the environment surrounding the video game market, increase the number of sales opportunities and improve profitability, we will expand the digital business by way of distributing paid add-on content and packaged software content in a digital format. We also reorganized the development divisions to increase hardware and software development efficiency, and strive to strengthen medium and long-term competitiveness. Furthermore, in order to offer various software titles, we will increase joint development with outside software developers and build an environment, such as “Nintendo Web Framework,” which enables developers to create software for “Wii U” using web technology.
Square enix has gone full vetard. The last thing they need is less attention, not more.

E3: Microsoft, Sony unlikely to clarify used games policies | GamesIndustry International
"We doubt either Microsoft or Sony will address pricing for current- or next-gen consoles at E3, though we do think there is a chance that Nintendo could announce a (badly needed, in our opinion) price cut for the Wii U in an attempt to steal some thunder," Creutz told investors.
...
...
...
He added: "For Sony, the challenge is how to differentiate the PlayStation 4 from what Microsoft is offering, given how badly the PS3 has lagged the 360 in Western markets."
I'll have to disagree on the price cut part. It will help the Wii U in the short term but damage the Nintendo brand in the long term by making an early price cut an expectation from the consoles.

Lightning Returns has been delayed again.

I hope that it doesn't turn out to be a "streamlined" cutscene-battle-cutscene-battle corridor game like the previous two.
u dont understand things are changing quite a lot even though piracy is increasing and we generally find cracks weeks after the release(in some cases even before) people are still buying pc titles not because they are worth it(but because the original offers things like multiplaer gameplay online achievements and co op) also standard of living of people is increasing (as far as india is concerned) so i think its high, time they can release all of the prequel pc ports to the market .........also i dnt understand what's the problem with it as it will only increase income of company (game developers ) if the game is multiplatform unless some one is forcing the company to be only console oriented........

And do you think its all about "Indian piracy" that they aren't releasing the games on pc??
Do you know that you cant hit any pirated sites in US and most of the European countries without being caught and penalized?? Do you know piracy is running less in these major markets where each game (PC/consoles) sell for 50 - 60$ (currency in US $) apiece and people still buy them??
The major issue isn't the piracy in all, but the console counts and potential customers on consoles rather than on PCs. Oh yes, major makers have raised the alarming rise in piracy is causing them losses. But that's not "the" issue.
India is no where near to those countries. We still suck a huge ton, but "it's improving" is what they say, IDK. So yeah, Commander is saying the truth. No rental services, no loaning of games, hell, "gaming is bull" is the mentality of Indian people.
Basically, through spotpass Nintendo can send you news, updates, patches etc. The MiiPlaza is where Mii's appear.
Nintendo is sending Iwata to your 3DS in order to communicate with you.
In this case he came to promote Nintendo's E3 Direct.
In the MiiPlaza you have a game called PuzzleSwap where you need pieces to complete puzzles you get from other Miis. Satoru Iwata has every piece out there.
next gen console games are priced at $99.99 on amazon.com...so this means that games will be much more costlier after the consoles are released? what about PC games?

Da3 da3 da3 da3 da3 da3 da3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sorry but i couldnt contain myself
I have to play another round of Dragon Age origins and DA2 before this releases.. ( I lost my savegames and I DARE NOT PLAY DA3 without them )
I was most impressed with the division, bf4 was good, I noticed some bugs and some horrible graphics in mp...(yes it's me complaining about gfx in bf4 )
^^ Oh the one by "Insomniac Games"?? Yeah that was very different with a water color theme. It was a CGI footage though ( though there's no doubt that in-game, it'll look equally same and good).
Titanfall was all in-game and that new "Source" engine looked brilliant. Valve is following epic's lead here.
Did you like "Ryse"? I kind of loved it. Cryengine 3 looked so good in next-gen consoles. The gameplay was brutally solid too.
Agreed. And the game also looked bad. I didn't like the acting, I didn't like the animations, I didn't like how the animation sequences weren't seamless at all.

You sure your eyes are fine? First you were saying BF4's not that great compared to BF3, now Ryse too? That's just wrong. Ryse looked beautiful, even when nothing else was.

Of course it did, but Crysis 3 at low settings, not high. I wanted better visuals. Especially from a developer which says "60% of the game is graphics."
And did you know, somehow, it is Nintendo that is pushing 60fps 1080p (X is no exception, and neither is Bayonetta 2) in almost every game that they announced/ discussed for the Wii U yesterday, lol.
Ryse - QTE's are optional execution moves - NeoGAF
Just on the Gamespot stream a dev explained what the QTEs are about. You can basically trigger an execution move and have a QTE minigame during the execution instead of a uninterrupted canned animation. He promises they have a mature sword/shield combat system underneath.
Vickybat, instead of getting worked up because I used a word you are unfamiliar with, why dont you answer my question? Don't divert from the topic. If you want to refuse to answer, just say that.
If I remember correctly (and I do) there is a free dictionary on the internet that has meanings for words that you do not know.
Wiktionary
How hard is it to use such a service guys?
This is the first place where I found people getting confused by my usage of that word.
Prithee literally is a combination of 'I pray to thee', but while it is certainly not in common usage, it is not a word that is unfamiliar in the english speaking world. It isnt wrong for me to assume that I'm allowed to use an english word in an english speaking forum.
So like I said before, please answer the question instead of avoiding it.
Either the writer at the telegraph or Microsoft is misleading readers by calling titanfall exclusive to X1, and calling the smaller budget titles indie even though M$ is the publisher.

How many times do you end up explaining people what you mean?? Is it so difficult to use the words that are common or do u think its "yo-yo" if you complicate your sentence?? Believe me it isn't cool. Lot of people here will agree with me on this.

This is the only forum where I ever have to explain things.
I don't 'think' about making my sentence cooler. All I did was type naturally as the words came to my head. This isn't the first time I've used words like these and it certainly won't be the last.
I'm not going to change the way I write or speak just because I use less common words in my text/ speech. Call me arrogant if you want to, but I prefer to explain myself rather than change my speech pattern, especially when my syntax is impeccable.
Isn't it better to learn something new rather than to stick to what you already know?

Isn't it obvious that my response was within the context of that post?
You have every right to suggest that I refrain from using less common words, and I won't stop you from doing that, but you can't force me to behave in the way you want me to. And if this isn't a learning forum, then why do we even help people troubleshoot their systems, games, or give suggestions to them or even discuss anything at all? Aren't we all learning something new in the process?
You guys are making a Python out of a Desert Rosy Boa. I just spoke like I normally do and you guys just had to pounce on me and divert attention from the real issue.
The Division's demo looked pretty orchestrated. The gameplay seemed typical, and I don't know how well players will actually co-ordinate with each other once the game actually comes out.
We've already seen how squads seem to be a fail concept in BF3 (and will be in BF4) because online nobody cares, here's hoping that the co-operative element of the Division is not

It's so easy to get a team on skype for you isn't it?
None of my "real" friends play the game, and most of my online friends don't know how to play as teams. Most real ones don't even play on PC (and when they do you can be sure the legit version is in a shop).
I'm talking about the concept failing in general, not for real teams and clans.
If it works for you and rakesh_ic, more power to you, but in general, multiplayer even in the TDM and Squad combat modes are literally a free-for-all.

I believe the scenario that you are talking about arises only when you dont utilize the core essence of squad-play. Oh yes, its not a one player game in the squad. all the 4 of the squad mates has to play along for this to work. So thats why i said, playing with random guys will not work for any squad games (specially FPS).
Leave alone BF3, a strategy game like LOL/DOTA fails many a times if u play solo (not going without a formed team), leave alone an FPS where you can score some kills being alone and even win games if u are skilled.
E3 2013: Hideo Kojima Feels He Needs to Do Better on Metal Gear Solid V After Seeing Ubisoft’s The Division
The division must be really good, considering comments like this coming straight from the stealth and tactical espionage master, Hideo Kojima san.
"I thought it received a good reaction, but after seeing Ubisoft’s [TomClancy's] The Division I felt I have to work harder. At E3 we’re fighting against the powerhouses of the whole world. At one time I thought I managed to win that battle with Metal Gear Solid 3. For that reason we gave ourselves the objective to “win the world once more” with Metal Gear Solid V. The V in the title is the V for victory."

You're fault then, you wouldn't die in battlefield and complain that its not like COD where you survive way longer, and tell the developers to tailor it for you, would you?
There are usernames appearing in the list, add them, make friends with them, or we have the TDF group on battlelog too. If you're a lone ranger, then stick with the single player games. You cannot simply fault the game for not playing by your tastes
Oh and let me tell you, I play with friends, and its a blast, best gaming experience I've ever had.

Oh and let me tell you, I play with friends, and its a blast, best gaming experience I've ever had.
I never complain when I die in Battlefield 3. I have a lot of friends in Battlelog, and I know most of them for the past couple of years . But none of them really play like a squad, and you failed to notice that I wrote that? And the fact that friends from real life do not even play the damn game?
I like the gameplay of Battlefield 3. I really do. Much better than CoD (which I haven't touched post MW2).
The reason why the squad tactics of the game fails is that people never follow orders, and there is no implementation of steps to correct this.
Like I said, if you have friends and they know how to play team tactics, more power to you. But that isn't what happens for 99% of the players.
Then you haven't played it with the right people. BF3's never meant to jump into the multiplayer alone, it's meant to play with friends pre-planned, if you know what I mean. It's not necessary that you communicate with voice chat, use text chat and there are good commands given in the game itself. If you can't find friends, well, you probably made a wrong decision buying BF3. Or you can play alone and keep the complaining to minimum.
TDM is another name for FFA, to get the most outta BF3, you gotta play Conquest.

Deathmatch is FFA, not TDM. Although this game does not have a Deathmatch mode, it doesn't mean TDM and SDM become FFAs. You don't go around killing your own team, lol.
Also, the same thing happens in Conquest [it's been quite a while since I played BF3, so the name of this mode wasn't on the top of my mind]. People never listen to their squad leaders (if the leaders even bother to issue commands).
I bought BF3 because people recommended I play it. I usually don't jump into a game alone. I used to be a part of another group and they used to have their own servers. But people never really play as a team.
I don't even use voice commands. Chat messages and preset commands have always been fine for me.
Finally, I'm not complaining. All I'm saying is that squad tactics enforcement should be implemented in the game to deter people from disobeying commands. This game was my first foray into Battlefield after I burned cash in 2142 (my first BF game), and you expect me to know each and every detail about the game?
And why would it be a wrong decision to buy the game? I had lots of fun when I played it. My point still holds that team tactics in the game are fail unless you have a genuine squad.
Heck.. in BF3 TDM's it rare to find a squad with different perks. when in conquest we often create a new squad, if anyone else joins unless he is a skilled player we kick them from the squad. many squad leaders don't know how to give command/objectives. few months ago we used to play a lot with one of two squads. mostly in tanks. but now a days not many play at the same time.

I guess they were excited about 64 players and the graphics and jumped from CoD. [Not literally]
But I'm thinking you never really got into a good set of people who play BF3 as it's meant to be played.
Finally, I'm not complaining. All I'm saying is that squad tactics enforcement should be implemented in the game to deter people from disobeying commands.
Yea, thankfully there's Spectator mode in BF4, so mods can actually watch lone wolfs and kick 'em out.
And why would it be a wrong decision to buy the game? I had lots of fun when I played it. My point still holds that team tactics in the game are fail unless you have a genuine squad.
You have to realize that given the massive number of players out there, it isn't easy to find people who actually want to play as teams.
I think there are numerous easy ways to deter people from disobeying commands.
For example, if your squad leader wants the squad to capture point E, then perhaps make the point capture of other points slower, stop giving the bonus points for capture, and remove the team capture bonus (i.e. if multiple people are capturing the same point, then all those disobeying commands will not speed up the capture).

For example, if your squad leader wants the squad to capture point E, then perhaps make the point capture of other points slower, stop giving the bonus points for capture, and remove the team capture bonus (i.e. if multiple people are capturing the same point, then all those disobeying commands will not speed up the capture).
For PS4 and xbox one
